Following LPs of Radiohead and Prince covers, this German label, !K7/Rapster, lets some of today’s finest underground electronic talents loose on David Bowie.

Fans may baulk but Life Beyond Mars is a relative triumph, despite the usual covers album hitch of simply leading the listener back to the source material.

A couple of LBM’s best moments come when artists such as Kelley Polar and Carl Craig deviate from the classics, perhaps because the urge to stick on Bowie’s versions of Labyrinth’s Magic Dance or 2003’s Looking For Water is small.
